"SEE AMERICA FIRST" 

CUTTER'S OFFICIAL GUIDE TO HOT SPRINGS 

America's Greatest Health and Pleasure Resort 

Owned and Operated by the United States Government. " The Health Resort with a National Backing. " 



Published by Chas. Cutter & Son. Edited and Compiled btj John \litton CuHer. 



Early History 

|r]g*|ESOTO and his army, or exploring party, were the 
I PI '^"^^^ white men to visit these Hot Springs. History 
l^E^ faintly refers to their sojourn here in the winter of 
1541-42. A French history, from which Judge U. M. Rose, 
of Little Rock, kindly furnished the writer with a translation 
for publication in his first work on Hot Springs (1874), 
stated the fact that DeSoto and his men spent the winter of 
1541-42 at Hot Lakes. As there are no hot lakes in this part 
of America, and no other hot springs, it is readily conceded 
that this is the place referred to. Another good reason for 
this conclusion is because DeSoto died within about two hun- 
dred miles of Hot Springs, near a point where the line divid- 
ing the States of Arkansas and Louisiana crosses the Mississ- 
ippi River. This was on May 21, 1542, only a few week's 
after leaving Hot Springs. 

Soon after the Louisiana Purchase by President Thomas 
Jefferson, in 1804, he sent the exploring party of Hunter and 
Dunbar to the Hot Springs for the purpose of making an ex- 
amination of the hot waters and the surrounding country. The 
only improvements they found were split board huts and a log 
cabin which had been built by French trappers in the fall of 
1800. They took the temperature of the hot springs and exam- 
ined the surrounding mountains and cold mineral springs. 



n' 



U. S. Government Control 

IHE United States Government made a reservation of 
the springs and surrounding country and took posses- 
sion of them in 1832, setting them apart as a "National 
Park and Sanitarium for all time." 

The bath houses pay a license to the Government for the 
use of the water, and all the revenue derived from this source 
and from other rentals is spent in improving the reservation. 
An elaborate system of parks has been laid out. on the moun- 
tains and in the valleys; fifteen miles of beautiful mountain 
drives and foot-paths have been constructed, marble hot water 
drinking fountains have been erected, flowers and shrubbery 
have been planted, and all for the free enjoyment and benefit 
of the people of the whole country. Over a half million dol- 
lars have been spent by the Government in this manner. 

Hot Springs is the seat of the general hospital of the Army 
and Navy, where the Government sends those of both branches 
of the service too sick for treatment at its ordinary hospitals. 
Additional quarters were provided, and a large new building 
constructed this year to meet the increased demands for the 
accommodation ot soldiers needing treatment. A new free 
bath house is contemplated in the near future, and other ex- 
tensive improvements, larger and more beautiful than any that 
have been made. 



D 



The Hot Springs 

I HERE are forty-six liot springs with an average tem- 
perature of 135° Fahrenheit, the hottest heing 157°. 
Tlicy discharge about 800,000 gallons per day. and are 
all located on the U. S. Government Reservation. 

The Character and Action of the Waters 

The source of the heat is believed to be great masses of 
igneous rock intruded in the earth's crust by volcanic agencies. 
Deep-seated waters converted into vapors by contact with this 
heated mass probably ascend through fissures toward the sur- 
face where they meet cold springs, which are heated by the 
vapors. 

The waters are radio-active in a marked degree, and to 
the presence of this rare element in gaseous form is now 
generally attributed their salutary effects. The baths create 
a reaction accompanied by an elevation of body temperature, 
accelerated heart action with diminished blood pressure in the 
arteries, and a stimulation of the nutritive changes in the 
tissue cells, especially those composin.g the organs of elimina- 
tion and those concerned in the formation of the blood. 

The hot waters may reasonably be expected to give relief 
in the following conditions ; In gout or rheumatism after the 
acute or inllammatory stage; in neuralgia when dependent 
upon gout, rheumatism, malaria, or metallic poisoning : in the 
early stages of chronic Bright's disease ; in catarrhal condi- 
tions of the gall bladder; in certain forms of disease of the 
pelvic organs, aTid in sterility in women ; in chronic malaria, 
alcoholism, and drug addictions ; in many chronic skin dis- 
eases : in some forms of anemia ; in syphilis ; in gonorrheal 
rheumatism: in toxemias and conditions of defective elimi- 
nation ; and in some forms of cardiovascular disease with in- 
creased tension in the blood vessels. 

The baths are contraindicated in tuberculosis of the throat 
and lungs and in all forms of cancer. 



Government Analysis of the Water 

The United States Government made an analysis of the 
forty-four hot springs in the year 1903. They were all very 
nearly alike, and below is shown that of the Big Iron Spring, 
the largest of the group. 

Temperature, 147° ; daily flow-, — 201,600 gallons. 

Gases (number of cubic centimeters per liter at degree 
C. 760 mm. pressure). — Nitrogen, S.80; oxygen, 3.79; carbon 
dioxide (free), 6.92; in combination. 30.02; hydrogen sul- 
phide, none.

The Bath Houses 

HERE are nineteen pay bath houses operated under 
rules and regulations approved by the Secretary of the 
Interior. Ten are on the reservation at the base of 
Hot Springs Mountain, constituting what is known as "Bath 
House Row," and nine are located at various points in the 
city. Eight are in connection with hotels, hospitals, or sani- 
toria. The water is the same in all. but the prices charged for 
the baths vary in the different houses in accordance with the 
equipments and accommodations furnished. The rates are 
fixed in each instance by the Secretary of the Interior. 

Frequent and regular inspections of the various bath houses, 
together with a close watch at all times over them, have re- 
sulted in giving the public a scientific administration of the 
waters and wholesome, sanitary and hj'gienic conditions.

World's Greatest Health Sanitarium 



mioT spi 

I ■ I greatest 
ILMJI miich to 



"■RINCiS has long been recognized as America's 
■eatest health resort, while as a pleasure resort it has 
to recommend it. 

As a health sanitarium the "Arkansas Hot Springs" rank 
with the most noted resorts of Huropean countries. 

The United States Government's recognition of the virtues 
of the WONDERFUL RADIO-ACTIVE HOT WATERS, 
and the ever-increasing stream of health seekers proclaim the 
greatness of its health-giz'iiig baths. 

The topography of Hot Springs is very similar to that of 
Carlsbad, (iermany, while the pine-clad foot-hills of the 
Ozarks afford both healthful exercise and inspiring scenery. 
The Government has converted the hills into parks with model 
roads and foot-paths, and will in the near future further 
beautify the Reservation. 

During the past two years there have been erected six 
bathing establishments that will take rank with the finest and 
most modern in the world, and Hot Springs can boast of some 
of the most modern and commodious hotels in America. The 
Sisters of Mercy conduct the St. Joseph Infirmary here, while 
the I. O. B. B. Society have erected a Leo N. Levi Memorial 
Hospital. 

This city offers every advantage, both as to climate and curative 
waters, for the erection of a sanatorium on the most colossal scale, 
and as this publication goes to press, such a sanatorium is about to be 
realized through the efforts of Dr. E. F. Winegar, of this city, and 
Eastern capitalists. Options have been" secured on several blocks of 
ground in the center of the city facing Central Avenue, Prospect, 
Ouachita, Market Street and Quapaw .-Vvenue. The value of the land 
alone amounts to over two million dollars, and the total investment, 
including all buildings, will, it is stated, exceed ten million dollars, 
making it the most complete sanatorium in the world. With the com- 
pletion of such an institution. Hot Springs will take the place that 
Nature intended for it_ when it created the world-famous Radio-Active 
Hot IValers that Hot Springs is so richly endowed with. The World's 
Greatest Health Sanatorium is a natural result of such a blessing, only 
too long delayed in receiving proper recognition.

Registered Physicians 

1 1 E only registered physicians who are allowed to pre- 
scribe the waters of the hot springs are those licensed 
practitioners of the State of Arkansas who have been 
examined by a Federal board of medical examiners appointed 
by the Secretary of the Interior. Visitors are warned that 
physicians who have not passed the Federal board and been 
registered in the superintendent's office, are not permitted to 
make use of the baths in the treatment of their patients. This 
rule is for the protection of visitors who, if they desire the 
baths, should, before employing a physician, procure from the 
Superintendent of the Reservation a list of the qualified prac- 
titioners. 

While the baths may be taken without the advice of a phy- 
sician by procuring a permit at the various bath houses, this 
practise is not recommended. Patients who assume to de- 
termine the nature of their ailments, and to prescribe for 
themselves, often fait to obtain the desired relief. The waters 
are not beneficial in alt diseases and in some are Itarmful. It 
is a iiseless expenditure of time and money to talte the baths 
for a disease tliat will not be benefited by them and such pro- 
cedure can result only in delaying proper treatment. 

Physicians' office fees are from $25 a month up. according 
to the treatment required ; physical examination and bathing 
directions, only $5. 

Visitors are advised for their own protection tliat soliciting 
for hotels, boarding-houses, or doctors on the trains running 
into Hot Springs is in violation of lazi.', and are warned against 
heeding ttie advice of irresponsible and unl^nouii persons. 

In the interest of the public it has been found necessary to 
prohibit the bathing of anyone stopping at a hotel or board- 
ing-house in which the solicitation of patronage for doctors 
is allowed. 



A Partial List of Registered Physicians 

The following is a partial list of the resident physicians 
who are registered at the U. S. Superintendent's Office and 
duly authorized by the U. S. Government to prescribe the Hot 
Springs baths. The complete list can be obtained at the Su- 
perintendent's Office or at the various bath houses.

Hot Springs' Ideal Climate 

Section Director Cole's Report Shows That This Resort Enjoys 
a Balmy and Well- Balanced Climate Condition 



BXE of the best advertisements for Hot Springs, Ark., 
is its delightful, all-the-ycar climate. During 1915 the 
monthly average tt-mperature at Hot Springs varied 

only 35 degrees between the hottest summer in this locahty 
and the coldest winter, the range being from 79 degrees in 
June to 44 degrees in January. 

Section Director Cole, of the Little Rock Weather Bureau, 
has just issued his annual climatological data for the year 
1915. Below we give the monthly maximum and minimum 
temperatures at this resort and the average temperature.

The Oertel System of Mountain Climbing 

On the roads on North Mountain and Hot Springs Mountain 
courses have been laid out for a scientific system of mountain climbing 
known as the Oertel system of graduated exercise, the same that is 
used at Bad Naulieim, Germany. The courses are indicated by stone 
monuments, finished with apex tops and painted, three hundred feet 
apart. These monuments have the number cut on the face of each 
stone on two sides and are set so the patient can easily see the number 
or distance he has walked either coming or going. There are four 
courses or roads marked in this way and the number on each monument 
is painted in the color used for the course on the map. 

A map 8 x lOj'^ inches has been prepared and may be procured by 
physicians at a nominal cost. Each course is represented in colors, 
yellow being used for a course comparatively level; green, for a course 
slightly inclined; blue, for a course moderately steep; and red, for a 



course very steep. This map has a space on the back for the physi- 
cian's directions and signature, so that the physician can prescribe in an 
accurate manner the distance and course required, according to the 
condition of the patient. 

Course No. 1, slightly inclined and shown in yellow on the map, 
starts at the corner of Fountain Street and Central Avenue and ex- 
tends up Happy Hollow ( Fountain Street) to Monument IS. intersect- 
ing Course No. 3, at North and Hot Springs Mountain divide. 

Course No. 2, shown in green on the map, starts at Monument 5 
and Government Monument No. 36 on south line of Fountain Street 
at entrance to Hot Springs Mountain road and extends to Monument 
No. 30, terminating at the drinking pavilion and tower at the top of 
the mountain, where it joins Course No. 3. 

Course No. 3, shown in blue on the map, begins at junction of 
Canon Street and Central Avenue and extends to Monument No. 33 
at the pavilion and tower at the end of Course No. 2. It traverses 
parts of North and Hot Springs Mountain roads. 

Course No. 4, shown in red on the map, begins at the main entrance 
between Maurice and Fordyce bath houses and extends up mountain 
walks to Moaunient No. 8 on Hot Springs Mountain road, intersecting 
Course No. 2. This is the steepest course. 

This system of exercise is applicable to patients whose heart ac- 
tion is impeded by deposits of fat and is effective in preventing fatty 
infiltration from becoming localized in the heart. It is, first of all, 
a preventive measure and can be employed with advantage to improve 
the general nutrition of the heart. Even in cases where fatty deposits 
have occurred, it is of great value, as it also is where the compensa- 
tion has been already established by milder means. 

In short, it may be said this system is beneficial to all incipient 
heart troubles, especially those of a myocardial nature. 

Some of the other physiological phenomena noticed are the follow- 
ing: Acceleration of the heart rate; acceleration of breathing; elimina- 
tion of an additional amount of carbon dioxide and increase of intake of 
oxygen; increase of power of healthy heart muscle and muscles of 
respiration; increase of capillary circulation; increase of normal blood 
pressure in proportion to amount and degree of exercise. 

So far known, this is the only system of this kind in the United 
States. In connection with the baths it should be a great boon to 
patients suft'ering from such ailments as will be benefited by this method 
of treatment. 

In making the survey and map for this system of exercise all of 
the roads and walks on Hot Springs, North and West Mountains, 
have been surveyed, measured and accurately located on the map, 
which is of material benefit to all persons requiring reliable informa- 
tion as to distances, locations, etc.

The City of Hot Springs 

[nfTlOT SPRINGS, a cosmopolitan city of 15,000 resident 
1 1 1 population, is located fifty-five miles west of Little Rock, 
I" ■ 'I the State Capital and metropolis of Arkansas. It is lo- 
caletl on the pine-clad foot-hills of the Ozarks, at an elevation 
of from six hundred to twelve hundred feet above sea level. 
On account of this elevation, the complete sewerage and drain- 
age systems and well-paved streets, Hot Springs boasts of the 
lowest death-rate of any city in the United States. There is a 
good police and fire department, four banks, two daily papers, 
nineteen churches and ten school buildings. Central Avenue, 
the principal business street, has many modern stores repre- 
senting all lines of business. The city is supplied with natural 
gas, electric lights and a modern water works system, also 
street-car service throughout the citv. 




Hot Springs' Modem Fire Department and City Hall. 



A modern "White Way" has been installed on Central and 
Ouachita avenues. The Government has also illuminated the 
famous Bath House Row Reservation. 

Hot Springs has a progressive mayor, board of aldermen 
and city officials, who endeavor to make the visitor welcome 
and his visit both a benefit and a pleasure.

How to Reach Hot Springs 

Hot Springs is now reached by three railroads. The St. Louis. 
Iron Mountain and Southern operates three daily passenger trains 
each way from St. Louis, Kansas City and Memphis, with througji 
sleepers. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific has three trains each 
way from Memphis and the South with through sleepers. The Mem- 
phis, Dallas and Gulf Ry. just completed into Hot Springs from the 
west, operates two trains each way from Texarkana and :\shdown. 
Ark. 

Expenses at Hot Springs 

Many people Iia\e an idea that a \'isit to Hot Springs necessitates 
a great deal of expense, but such is not the case. While visitors can 
spend as much money here, if they desire, as in any city, there is no 
place in the country where one can live more cheaply. Below is 
given a statement showing the range of cost of comfortable accommo- 
dations, medicine and medical attendance, bathing, etc., from which it 
will be seen that visitors who desire to be economical, can live well 
and enjoy all the benefits of the baths and hot water with an ex- 
penditure of as little as $.S9 per month. 

Board and lodging, $20 to $100: physician's office fees. $35 and up: 
physical examination only for bathing directions, $5; medicine, $5 to 
$15; bathing, $7 to $12: bath servants, $3 to $5; total, $59 to $165.

For health, pleasure and sightseeing all the year round. Hot Springs 
is visited by a larger average of guests than any other watering resort, 
being 150,000 annually. 

But it is the average montlily business that is the most remark- 
able, there being only two months, October and November, that can 
really be called dull. 

Our deligihtful alNycar climate, as well as the well-known efficacy of 
the thermal waters at all tiynes, makes Hot Springs a pleasant and 
desirable place of resort at any season of the year. 

A Pleasure Resort 



As a pleasure resort Hot Spring 
offers many advantages. Th* 
model Government roads, with thr 
scenic environs, the mild climate -ii 
all seasons, make outdoor spori- 
possible. There are many interest 
ing points a few miles distant. Good 
fishing and hunting are offered 'v 
season. A model Country Club antl 
full course golf links are open t" 
the visitors at a nominal fee. 

The Highway to Little Rock \^ 
now completed and offers a beauti 
ful scenic trip to our Capitol City. 

Horseback riding and drivin.; 
are popular amusements at this re 
sort. The Government has built 
fine roads and paths to the Stetl 
Tower and different points on the 
Reservation where the views of the 
surrounding country are an inspira- 
tion to lovers of woodland scenery. 
There are also many enjoyable side 
trips to different springs on goori 
roads. As a diversion for the lovers 
of horseback riding there arc differ- 
ent trails over the mountains U< 
points of interest. Signs are postcii 
along the way to give every assist 



Cold Mineral Springs 

Hot Springs can boast not only of her famous Hot Springs, but 
several cold mineral springs in this vicinity are well patronized on ac- 
count of their medicinal properties. Visitors suffering from kidney 
and bladder trouble and the early stages of Bright's disease find that 
often best results are obtained when these waters are drunk in connec- 
tion with the baths. The Mountain \'allej' Springs are located twelve 
miles north of the city, and a hotel is conducted there. An office and 
drinking pavilion is also maintained at 354 Central Avenue. Otlicr cold 
mineral springs of note are the DeSoto Springs, on Central Avenue, 
where a handsome spring house and drinking pa\ ilion have been 
erected; Little Mountain Springs, located near the Little Rock Pike, 
four miles east of the city; Arsenic Springs, 237 Mt. Ida Street. City.

America's Favorite Athletic Training-Ground 



f^TlOT SPRINGS has become the favorite spring training- 
I ■ I ground for the various National and American League 
ULII baseball clubs, and for many years the Pittsburg and 
Boston American clubs have maintained regular training 
parks, and their high standing each year in the pennant race 
of their respective leagues is self-evidence that the players 
were in good physical condition when entering the race for 
baseball supremacy. 

The Pittsburg park is located on Whittington Avenue, 
and the Boston "Red Sox" park (Majestic Park) in the south 
end of the city. The Boston National (Braves) may also do 
their preliminary training here this year. The Indianapolis 














Boston (Rod .Sox) Baseb.Tll Clul) World's Champions, 191:;. 1916. 



Pittsburg Baseball Club — World's Champions, 1910. 

A. A. Club may return to this city for spring training. 
Many good practise games are played in the spring be- 
tween visiting clubs which offer a high-class amusement to 
the many visitors at that season. Many other members of 
the Major and Minor league ball ckibs make annual visits to 
this city to take the baths and get in physical condition be- 
fore joining their respective clubs at their different Southern 
training-grounds. The athletes who come to Hot Springs are 
not all baseball players. Many prize fighters seek the "Foun- 
tain of Youth" (RADIO-ACTIVE HOT SPRINGS) in order 
to make a "come-back," while various college athletes are 
here to gain the best physical condition. The writer predicts 
that ne.xt March more than five hundred baseball players and 
other athletes will be here getting in condition, making Hot 
Springs the WORLD'S GREATEST ATHLETIC TRAIN- 
ING GROUNDS.

New Imperial Bath House 

]UK New Imperial Bath House has been built regardless of cost 

and under the supervision and inspection of the U. S. Medical 

r)irector and the Department of the Interior. It is one among 

tlie best constructed, finest and most superbly and scientifically 

equipped bath houses in America or Europe. 

All floors are ceramic tile with cove and round corners — hospital 
regulation — joining the wainscoting, making it sanitary. 

The private dressing rooms are constructed entirely of marble and 
tile and one person has exclusive use of room. 

Dressing rooms for ladies are equipped with a mirror built in the 
tile wall, plate glass shelf, sanitary chair, hat and clothes hooks, and 
are on the second floor, being reached by three stairways and by ele- 
vator. 

The bath tubs are solid porcelain, enameled inside and outside. 
Vapor bath rooms are found in connection with each bath room, lined 
with glass. 

The Hydrotherapy Department 

This bath house has a most complete and scientific equipment in this 
department. 

All known treatments in hydro therapeutics are given to both men 
and women under supervision of a professor who will also give electric 
light bath, violet ray bath, electricity (galvanic or faradic) baths, sitz 
bath, Nauheim (champagfne) bath, said to be equal to the baths at 
Nauheim. Germany, the shower, needle, spinal and liver baths and 
shampoo treatment. 

The air is changed entirely in each room every fifteen minutes, and 
the fresh cold air is drawn in from screened openings at the top of 
one of the highest towers of the house. 

The hot water spring from which the water is received for use is 
itself nine feet under the surface of the mountainside, entirely cov- 
ered, so all gases and heat are confined, and is tapped by a galvanized 
insulated water pipe and reaches our air-tight insulated steel tank by 
gravity at 135^ F. 

This water has to be cooled for bathiug. 

This is an important condition to accomplish in order to give the 
greatest curative benefits to the bather, and to keep the water free 



from contamination, but greater than all to confine the radio-activity 
due to dissolved radium (a gas) and other gases which are tlie prin- 
cipal curative and healing agencies in this water. 

Our water tanks are water sealed, air tight. We cool the water by a 
system of evaporating the heat from the water, taking the water from 
the hot water tank, passing it through this system into the cold water 
tanks, reducing the heat to 90° F. in the hottest summer weather and 
without at any time being exposed to the atmosphere. 

Sanitary steel enamel cases are furnished each person in which to 
keep robe, towels and bath outfits separate. All bath outfits or acces- 
sories used in taking the bath are thoroughly sterilized each day after 
use.

Buckstaff Baths 



nHIS new bath house was completed two years ago, at a cost of 
$125,000. and is one of the most complete and luxurious bath- 
ing establishments in the United States. Several tourists who 
, ■■_ have visited most of the European resorts have said that al- 
though Europe has larger hath houses, there is not one that has as 
many modern conveniences or sanitary features as the Buckstaff. 

When one realizes that the temperature of the water is perhaps the 
most essential feature of the Hot Springs baths, it will be conceived 
how thoroughly the designers of this bathing palace have studied the 
science of giving a therapeutic hath. 

But the regular hot water bath is only one of the splendid phases of 
the magnificent hydrotherapeutic equipment of the Buckstaff. Every 
modern method of hot water treatment, and all the accumulated appa- 
ratus for giving hydrotherapy effectively and successfully, have been 
included in the service of the Buckstaff. The walls of the bath halls 
are marble to the ceiling, marble wainscoting in all other rooms, solid

porcelain plumbing fixtures, tile floors. The air throughout 
the building is changed every fifteen minutes, the tempera- 
ture in each room is under thermostatic control and all 
rooms are outside rooms, thus affording plenty of sunlight. 
Connecting with each bathing department are rooms for mas- 
sage and chiropody. On the third floor are reading and 
writing rooms, beauty parlors, sun porches and a parlor. 

The entire force of the Buckstaff is composed of ex- 
perienced WHITE persons and the service is unexcelled. The 
price for twenty-one baths is $14, including attendant's fees. 
If you ever visit the World's Greatest Health Resort, do not 
fail to inspect this bathing palace. An illustrated and de-

The Fordyce 

"Finest Bath House in the World" 

nl I \\ buililiiig is designed in tlic Spanish Renaissance style of 
.irchitectnre. which is ricli in sculpture and carving, and is 
nearly twice as large as any other batli house in Hot Springs. 
It contains every improvement and device known to modern science 
for the administration of the baths. No money or skill has been 
spared to make this establishment the most practical, complete aTid 
hi.xurious bath house in the world. The equipment includes every 
form of apparatus for giving hydrotherapy (water treatment), and 
in addition extensive and complete departments for giving electrical 
and mechanical treatments, including massage and Swedish move- 
ments, medical gymnastics, etc., in connection with the general nat- 
ural hot water baths. 





Lobby. 

The spring that supplies the Fordyce with water 
was developed while excavating the basement, and 
thousands of gallons of hot water come boiling from 
the earth every hour. Here visitors can see and drink 
the water as it bubbles from the ground in its native 
state. 

Cold water for tempering the douches, sprays, 
needle, shower and other baths is secured by means of 
a refrigeration plant which turns the boiling water to 
an icy temperature without permitting exposure to the 
air. This assures bathers ice-cold water containing 
all the original gases of its natural state.

the morning of the twenty-fifth of February. 1905. In 

cinnlding, all features in bath-house experience generally, in Hot 

Springs, were taken into careful consideration, to the end that 

the new house should meet every requirement for administering

sanitary bathing establishments at Hot Springs. Heated with 
steam, a proper regulation of temperature throughout the house 
is assured- Of the many private dressing rooms, those in the 
ladies' department are of extra large dimensions. 

Because of its location (No. 214 Ouachita Ave.), practically 
the center of the rebuilt community of popular-priced hotels, 
rooming and boarding houses. — all of which are built and furnished 
along lines of modern requirements, — this house enjoys a su-

The Hale Baths 



m 



OR ovt-T twenty years the proprietors of the Hale have been 
scr\'ing the wants of the visitors to Hot Springs, and during all 
these years it has been their endeavor constantly to improve 
their service. With this in view, nothing has been spared in 
the new and remodeled batli house to make it the most mociern and 
up-to-date in the country. It seeks to obtain all of the sanitary re- 
quirements of the United Slates Government and meet all of the com- 
forts that are needed, maintaining a service which will ensure the satis- 
faction of its patrons, and at the same time enable it to render this 
service at a charge within the reach of all.

cording to the direction of their doctors. The attendants are trained 
and understand the necessity of following explicitly doctors' directions. 



The hospitality of the Hale is well known by all its former patrons. 
It is nowhere mo/e exemplified than in the attractive sun parlor, fitted 
up for the comfort of its lady guests. 

No effort has been spared to make the ladies feel perfectly at home 
nt the Hale, and their parlor and lounging room has been fitted up with 
reading tables, card tables, dressing tables. 

The same appointments have been made for the men patrons, with 
additionnl facilities for smoking and reading, A writing room has also 
been prepared, in which writing facilities will be found at all times. 

While nothing has been spared to make the Hale so attractive and 
beneficial to bathers, yet no unnecessary expense has been added, and 
the result is that the management is able to give first-class service at 
The modest rate of $12 for a course of 21 batlis. This price includes 
the attendant's fee, and is within the reach of all visitors to Hot 
Springs.

The Arlington Hotel 



nllE Arlington is situated upon the northwest corner of Hot 
Springs Mountain, and enjoys the privilege of being the only 
hotel on the Government Reservation. Of this distinction the 
owners are justly proud, but apart from this the Arlington is 
splendidly located, being on Central Avenue, at the corner of Fountain 
Street, which street forms the world-renowned "Happy Hollow." This 
hotel is conducted only on the American plan, and is open throughout 
the entire year. 

Six hundred thousand dollars were expended on the building and 
equipment of the Arlington, and it is justly known as a high-class, 
modern hotel, one which caters to the most discriminating of resort 
patronage. There are more than three hundred guest rooms, many of 
them with priv-ate bath ; the water for all of which baths is drawn 
from the mineral springs on the Government Reservation. The hotel 
is five stories in height; constructed of brick, stone and steel, and has 
a total frontage of 650 feet. An unusually broad veranda or colonnade 
extends the entire length of the building, affording an excellent view 
of Central Avenue and the Government promenade. Every hall of each 
floor of the Arlington is connected with the beautiful Government Park, 
in the rear of the hotel, by steel bridges. 

For the comfort, convenience and pleasure of its guests, the Ar- 
lington is provided with large lobby, parlors, writing rooms, rest rooms, 
etc. Concerts three times daily — morning, afternoon and evening — are 
given by the Arlington Orchestra (Prof. Richard Barton, Conductor) in 
the main rotunda. Formal balls and informal dances are given each 
week in the beautiful ball room, and these, together with card parties, 
afternoon teas in the grills, etc., make perfect the gay side of this hotel. 
A handsomely appointed Metropolitan grill is conducted entirely on the 
a la carte plan, in which white employees are used throughout and where 
the service and cuisine is equal to that in our Northern and Eastern 
cities. Music by a special Italian orchestra is rendered throughout the 
afternoon and e\'ening. A new Sun Parlor and rest room at the south- 
east corner of the main building has been added. This room is beau- 
tifully located, commanding a sweeping view of the Government Park, 
promenade and Central Avenue. It is constructed of glass, has maple 
floor, finished throughout in tan and green shades and furnished entirely 
with wicker furniture. No sweeter or more restful room can be found 
anywhere than the Arlington Sun Parlor. 

Special attention is called to the beautiful eigh teen-hole Golf 
Course, which is located on the Malvern Road, two miles from the 
hotel. This is one of the most beautiful golf courses in this country, 
and is giving the most perfect satisfaction to all classes of players. 
The golf course is reached by private automobile service from the Ar- 
lington, which service is conducted entirely for the benefit of the guests 
of the hotel, and is operated on regular schedule. 



The Arlington Baths 

Fifty thousand dollars have been expended during the past summer 
and fall in entirely rebuilding and refurnishing the Arlington Baths 
in compliance with the latest Government plans and regulations. It is 
now the equal in comfort, convenience and beauty of any bathing 
establishment in this country or Europe. With its marble and tile con- 
struction, it is spotless white throughout; is furnished with solid porce- 
lain tubs and the very latest models in showers, douches; marble vapor 
and hot air cabinets; is heated and ventilated throughout by the latest 
automatic system approved by the Department of the Interior. A special 
Hydrotherapeutic Room has been added, where these baths are given 
under the direction of a graduate pupil of hydrotherapy. In this room 
every convenience possible has been placed for the giving of the hydro- 
therapeutic baths in their latest and best form. In fact, entirely 
throughout the Arlington baths are as perfect and up-to-date as it is 
possible to make them. A new Otis elevator of latest construction 
connects at the Southern end of the building every floor of the hotel 
with both the ladies' and gentlemen's departments. This elevator is 
exclusively for the use of bathers.

The Eastman Hotel and Bath House 



DHIS is the largest hotel at Hot Springs, and though it is open 
only through the busy season, there have been several years 
when the b^'tter class of visitors could not have been accom- 
modated but for the commodious Eastman. It has 520 guests' 
rooms. The house is so constructed — in the shape of an L — that all 
of the rooms are front rooms, facing either one of the four streets which 
surround it or the open court, which is beautifully shaded by lofty 
forest trees; and from the rooms facing it a commanding view is to be 
had of the Army and Navy Hospital, the Hot Springs and West 
Mountain, and the \'alley of Hot Springs. All of these views and the 
rest of the city and adjacent mountains are seen to the best advantage 
from the lofty observatory, nearly 200 feet high. Most of the rooms 
have connecting doors, so they can be arranged for single or in suites, 
and many are equipped with private bath rooms and toilets. 

The main halls, twelve feet wide, extend through the center of the 
entire building, each forming a grand promenade 675 feet long. 

No fire is ever lighted in the house, except in the magnificent fire- 
places in the parlors and lobby, and in the kitchen. The building is 
heated throughout by steam and lighted by electricity, both aic and 
incandescent systems being used, and the power furnishing them is in 
another building on the opposite side of the street. 

The public rooms of the Eastman consist of a grand parlor, ball 
room, ladies' reading rooms, billiard room, gentlemen's reading and 
writing room, dining-hall and ordinary — all of generous dimensions — 
and a superb lobby, containing telegraph office, local and long distance 
telephones, news and cigar stands, stenographer's desk and all other 
conveniences. Here a superb orchestra gives three daily concerts and 
also provides music nightly for dancing in the grand ball room ad- 
joining. The Eastman Orchestra is conducted by the able director, Prof. 
Phillip Laffey. 

The service throughout, at the Eastman, is unexcelled, and the 
cuisine is of the highest excellence. 

Rates: European plan exclusively, $1 per day and upwards. 

The Eastman Baths 

The Eastman Bath House this fall has been entirely rebuilt, with 
the exception of the outer walls. New tile floors and solid marble 
partitions have been added to both the ladies' and gentlemen's bathing 
departments. The bath rooms are very large, and most of them have

drotherapy department is included and every modern method of 
hot water treatment and all the accumulated apparatus for giving 
hydrotherapy effectively and successfully have been included in the 
service of the Eastman Baths, which now rank with the finest bathing 
establishments in America. The Bath House contains forty bath rooms, 
equipped with solid porcelain bath tubs. These are connected with 
cooling rooms and parlors, and all have been refurnished throughout. 
The Bath House is connected with the Hotel by a steam-heated pas- 
sageway, so guests can go direct from their rooms in their bathrobes 
without danger of taking cold. The hot water used in this Bath House 
is supplied by the Government and is the same as all the other bath 
houses receive and is under the rules and regulations of the Department 
of the Interior.

Majestic Hotel and Bath House 

HIS hotel, built of brick and stone, is the newest of the 
large hotels of Hot Springs. Every floor is practically 
a ground floor, as each floor opens out upon the moun- 
tainside, thus minimizing the danger to life and property in 
case of fire. There is not pn inside room in the building. All 
are delightfully cool in summer and comfortably warm in 
winter, and command a good view of the "Valley of the 
Vapors." All the apartments are well and completely fur- 
nished, and arranged to be used single or en suite. Every 
room is supplied with hot and cold running water, steam heat, 
electric and gas light, and local and long distance telephone. 
Sixty-five of the largest rooms have private bath and toilet in 
connection, in addition to the conveniences named above. The 
grand dining room is finished in cherry, and is airy, well- 
lighted, and conveniently reached from any room in the hotel. 
It has a comfortable seating capacity of three hundred and 
sixty persons. The hotel orchestra gives daily concerts in the 
spacious lobby, under the leadership of Prof. Walter Cain. 

The bill of fare is changed daily, and consists of the best 
the market affords. A unique arid an appreciable feature of 
the hotel is that the bath house, where the hot mineral water 
baths are given, is located upstairs, and has no public street 
entrance, but is easily reached from any room in the hotel by 
way of stairs or elevator ; thus guests may go to the bath 
house in robes and slippers, and after the bath, return to 
their rooms to rest before dressing, which is always advis- 
able. In this way one avoids the danger of taking cold by 



going into the outer air too soon after the bath, as well as 
the fatigue attending a hot bath. The water used in the 
bath house comes directly from the Hot Springs Reserva- 
tion. 

During the piast year the bath house has been entirely 
remodeled to conform with the latest ideas in bath house 
equipment as used in this country and Europe. The floors 
and walls have been set with marble tiling, and new fixtures 
and appliances installed, suitable for giving a Hot Springs 
mineral water bath according to any individual desire or 
physician's prescription. Included in the equipment are two 
complete hydrotherapeutic rooms. An entirely new heating 
and ventilating system has been installed, which changes and 
heats the air in each and every room every ten minutes, and 
this, with the other improvements, makes the MAJESTIC 
BATH HOUSE the most complete in its appointments and 
sanitary condition of any bath house operated in connection 
with a hotel in Hot Springs, and the equal of any bath house 
in Bath House Row, or in the cit}'. 

The Majestic Hotel is a most popular family resort and 
special rates are made for families and parties, and it is open 
for guests the entire year. It is managed by experienced 
people whose aim at all times is to look after the welfare 
and comfort of the guests. 

Any further information desired in regard to the hotel 
or Hot Springs will be cheerfully furnished upon applica- 
tion. Address —

I have made very careful test of the deposits from the walls inside 
the spring, and from the walls in the reservoir of the pump house at 
l\Iountain Valley Spring. 

I find these deposits consist chiefly of carbonate of iron. This may 
be in the form of a basic carbonate of iron. There is present, no 
doubt, very small amount of other substances which are insoluble in 
water.

The preceding analyses are conclusive evidence of the 
medicinal properties of the water. Waters of these springs

ment of Kidney Diseases and those of the Urinary Tract. 
They are also especially recommended for the following dis- 
eases : Cystitis (or inflammation of the bladder), Diabetes. 
Rheumatism and Gout. Because of the popularity of this 
water, the Mountain Valley Springs Company maintains an 
office and a drinking pavilion in the Southern Club Building

The St. Joseph 
Infirmary 



D 



jl HE St. Joseph Infirmaiy, 
conducted by the Sisters 
of Mercy, was established 
this city in 1S8S. 
With the passing years and with 
the number of its patients in- 
creasing, it became imperative to 
provide more extensive quarters 
in order that the Sisters might 
be better able to cope with the 
great work which they had in 
hand: consequently, in 1903, the 
present main building, with its 
handsome bath house, was con- 
structed, with every modern con- 
venience. 

The Bath House was built 
under the supervision of the U. 
S. Government, and the Hot 
Springs' waters were, by per- 
mission of the Department ot 
the Interior, piped from the 
Reservation to this bath house. 
All baths given in the Hot 
Springs waters are under the 
regulation of the government. 
Kates for baths: single bath, 50 
cents; 21 baths. $9.00: attend- 
ant's fee, 21 baths, $3.00; each 
15 cents. 

The main building is con- 
structed of brick and stone, the 
interior being finished in oak 
and marble, with tile floors. 

A training-school for nurses 
is conducted by the Sisters and 
a large class of trained nurses 
is maintained.

I HE Hot Springs Keeley Institute was es-

only institute of its kind in the State. It 
has the sole and exclusive right for Arkansas to 
administer Dr. Leslie E. Keeley's treatment for 
the liquor, opium or morphine, cocaine and to- 
bacco addictions and neurasthenia. The treat- 
ment and - remedies given are the same as at 
Dwight, 111., while patients have the advantage 
of the famous Hot Springs baths. 

Accommodations are provided in the house 
for the rooming and boarding of such patients as 
it may seem advisable to have directly under the 
care- of the physician in charge. 

This institute should not be classed or con- 
fused with the various so-called "liquor or drug 
cures" that have sprung up from time to time in 
Hot Springs. Duing its twenty-two years' es- 
tablishment here this institution has won for 
itself a reputation for thorough reliability and 
the highest efficacy in its special Hne of work. 
Anyone having dealings with it may be assured 
of fair and honest treatment. Method of ad- 
vertising always conservative, never indulging in so-called

DEMAND EFFICIENCY 

It is an established truth that 
Little Mountain Iron Water 

As an Alterative, Tonic. Diuretic and Eliminant 
Js of Unquestioned Value 

This splendid Mineral Water, bubbling forth well up the 
mountain side, has justlj' earned the enthusiastic endorse- 
ment of both physician and patient. The range of useful- 
ness enjoyed by Little Mountain Iron Water is unusually 
wide ; it being not only of proven efficiency as an aid in the 
treatment of many affections of the kidneys, liver, heart and 
blood-vessels, but it is also of service in the amelioration of 
stomach and bowel troubles, and as an Eliminant is useful 
in the treatment of rheumatism and gout. Its powerful tonic 
and alterative properties are promptly manifested in the de- 
bilitated and those who have been overtaxed by the demands 
of modern business and social life. 

Within the city limits of Hot Springs a large bottle of
